@Bloodborn Look man, I understand you hate everything MS but come on dude. This game is doing something that has NEVER been done before in the history of gaming with its tv show integration. That alone is worth the nod. Also from what I have seen the graphics are some of the best I have seen so far, I also don't remember Max pain or any game where you are able to move around (in real time) and manipulate frozen (in time) objects the way you can in this game.

The gameplay itself may be a little similar to max payne but you can say that for many games. Most third person shooter play the same with litte (or big) tweeks to help set them apart.

Did you see the extended gamescom demo?

Also PLEASE tell me what game on or coming to next gen is more ambitious than Quantum Break??

@Above: I see, I only watched the gameplay but I didn't know about these details. Guess it's ambitious after all but still what I've seen so far hasn't impressed me enough to be excited about it. But it seems like there is much more to it than what they've shown so far, I hope they can impress me next time.

@below: The Souls series has arguably the best gameplay of any game out there, that's why I'm excited for it's next-gen successor. I don't call Bloodborne "ambitious" either... that word is for games like No Man's Sky or The Witcher 3.

To each their own in my mind. But in NO WAY does "The Souls series has arguably the best gameplay of any game out there"

Souls games have some of the slowest and most boring gameplay I've ever seen. It's tedious as hell.

That's why I say to each their own but in no way can you compliment it's gameplay. It's not even a challenging experience it's just a very dull game.

And how is "The Witcher 3" ambitious, CD Projekt Red is doing what they've always done. Take their game to new heights. They're building on what made The Witcher awesome. Open World Monster hunter game. I'm not saying that it's not Ambitious. But how you can say THAT'S ambitious but not this is just funny as hell.

Edit: @Jnemesh Defiance didn't have a unified goal. The Show is amazing, but the game is sub par. And they don't connect very well.

Quantum Break TV series is Written and Directed by Sam Lake...Director/Writer of the Game.

"Souls games have some of the slowest and most boring gameplay I've ever seen. It's tedious as hell".

"I've ever seen."

Seen? So that just confirms you pretty much haven't played not even one game from the series. LMFAO! The Soul series has some of the most challenging, coordinating gameplay from last generation if you actually did some research on it or even attempted to play it. It's not one of the most acclaimed series for nothing kiddo.

I find it hilarious how people who hated on The Order absolutely praise the hell out of this game when at it's core... it's a 3rd person shooter, just like the Order. Of course it'll have it's gimmicks and cool features that set it apart. But I highly doubt it'll be that significant. lol

Anyways, looks cool BTW, thank God Remedy have a great track record of putting their games on PC.

"Souls games have some of the slowest and most boring gameplay I've ever seen. It's tedious as hell."

You've SEEN it, and you haven't played it? -.- -----

"That's why I say to each their own but in no way can you compliment it's gameplay. It's not even a challenging experience it's just a very dull game."

CONFIRMED, you absolutely have not played it if you think it's not challenging or compelling. Do you think the Souls has its fanbase for no reason, when THAT's one of the primary reasons people like it and talk about it? That's intensely delusional, dude. Wow. -----

So...

You just proved that you seem to know a lot about what Microsoft/Remedy have told you about Quantum Break, but not been able to show you.

You also proved that you DEFINITELY don't know a lot about Bloodborne or the Souls series in general, but are using it as a crutch to make Quantum Break seem better than it is. It looks like an amazing set-piece driven action game, but the gameplay we've seen does nothing to suggest what you are telling us.

The Gamescom demo was 90% basic cover shooting gameplay, 10% adventure exploration of a frozen scene with NO influence on that slowing down of time or real-time manipulation of the contents of the scene. I hope we see something better next time cause Quantum Break is a great concept to me.

We saw a very small snippet of action gameplay. This game is doing things the Order just simple cannot. freeze object in mid air to traverse obstacles which turns it into a platformer, play as the bad guy at the end of each chapter to change the story completely. Time powers get stronger where you are able to freeze entire scenes. Traversing stutters not able to predict how the level will completely change at a moments notice. I mean my god this game has every genre imaginable built into it. I didn't even talk about the TV series that follows your game precisely as the decision that you make.

Stop getting dragged into the order vs Qb comparison. Although they are third person shooters, they are completely different in what the devs are trying to achieve, plus the setting, etc. is totally different.

Melman, you do know that the game defiance also have integration. There won't be much change with the tv show due to the writing, it will only have minor changes. So TV integration have been done before and isn't some thing major. But this will be a great game and I can't wait til it comes out

@macus & jnemesh No...I have never heard of it. Thanks for telling me about it. Is the tv show on the disc or is it actually on tv?

I know Quantum Break and its tv show will be on the disc with seemles integration with the game. So basically you can play the game, finish a level, and seemlesly go into an episode of the show, then right back into the game.

You are right. Really excited about this game. Remedy did say they would have never embarked on a project this ambitious if not for MS financial backing. Its going to be great. They've never made a bad game. I've enjoyed all their games. Max P, Alan W and now Jack J. : )

@Opie

Nice..totally forgot about those characters. Will be fun to see how the game plays out. Sam lake said the time powers shown in the demo are just a few of what's in store. J. Joyce will have a lot more than the pause, fastforward and rewind time abilities. Can't wait to see what remedy has in store.

It looks to be a culture bringer. Those that crave an amazing sp experience should no doubt find interest in qb (including ps/wiiu gamers). I have always felt the whole console fanboyism is rather petty (and creates a loss for said soldier), but when I see trolling over amazing games (no matter the platform), this is when it really is pathetic... QB looks as amazing (and more revolutionary) than any title on any system.

Not better, but certainly the best dev on Xbox one. I honestly believe naughty dog are the best developers in the industry, I'd love to see them work on PC with seemingly no limits and with an unlimited budget...

This is what it usually breaks down too: Xbox vs PS. Or at least that's what fanboys always bring it to, even when the other console isn't even mentioned. These games, not even released yet (QB/Order), are the ammunition these fanboys used to throw into the other sides face. That's the reason why they get so pissed when someone isn't excited or in completely love of these games. You can't even have your own opinion anymore.

Bring back something that proves they have had better output and then you might have a point. I think 4 great Crash games, 3 great Jak games, 3 great Uncharted games, and a masterpiece of survival action that is arguably the best game of last generation and one of the best games of all time, trumps Remedy's output. At least so far.

I love Remedy and their games, but they haven't made a game that's better than Uncharted 2. Even if you somehow believe, that Alan Wake or Max Payne 1 or 2 are better games than Uncharted 2 or anything that ND has produced prior, the industry and gamers don't agree consensually. ---

@ its_JEFF

C'mon dude. Any of us here would welcome for him to expand on his "opinion" on the two studios, but he won't provide any other in-depth opinions about elements of the games and why he thinks Remedy does a better job than Naughty Dog. He's done the same think on other articles completely unrelated to Naughty Dog, and he's here to troll. That's all you really need to take away from it.

Good looking isn't reason enough to buy a game. I don't care if you are a Sony or MSFT fan. Let's not vacillate because it's on our console of choice. This is a PROVE it title like 1886. It's all about game play and plot.

Game is shaping up nicely. Those who don't like the game simply don't like the "hook" of this game or they're tired of this type of "hook". People keep bringing up Max Pain, and I can see that but it's taking Max Pain and pushing that concept even further.

If you never liked Max Pain or you're tired of it, then that's completely fine and you're entitled to that opinion. Everyone isn't gonna like the same games as everyone else. And the one's surprised or shocked that someone doesn't like this game are just ridiculous.

It just looks like Max Payne's urban-ness meets Alan Wake. It really does. Freezing of time is not brand new and here it's just used as a way of triggering set pieces. It'll be solid as it's a Remedy game but it looks like an evolution of those games more than anything else.
